You Are Held, You Are Enough

Let the world around you soften,

Feel the gentle weight of your Allow your breath to slow and deep Life,

Each exhale a letting With every breath,

Feel your pain down Like roots reaching into the soil There is no rush here Your breath,

Notice how your chest rises and falls Notice the spaces between the breaths,

The pauses,

The quiet In those spaces,

Feel the pulse of your own life force Now gently bring your awareness to your heart Imagine a warm light there,

A soft glow This light is your truth,

Your wisdom,

Your knowing Breathe into this space,

Letting that warm light grow brighter Until it fills your whole chest,

Your whole being As you rest in this light,

Allow any tension to melt away Feel the weight of your shoulders softening Your jaw unclenching,

Your belly loosening With each breath,

Let yourself feel more grounded Like the roots of a great tree Reaching deep into the earth,

Feel the steady strength of that connection Now bring your awareness to the space around your body Feel the energy that surrounds you The soft hum of life that is always there You are not separate from the earth You are part of it,

Woven into its rhythms When you're ready,

Gently begin to bring your awareness back to the present moment Feel the surface beneath you,

The air on your skin,

The sounds around you Breathe deeply,

Carrying this quiet strength back with you Now let go of all the tension,

Let go of all the tension Open your eyes when you feel ready And remember,

You are held,

You are enough And you belong to this earth
